Temperature Solution Firm Opens in UAE

DoKaSch Temperature Solutions, a leading provider of temperature-controlled logistics solutions, is pleased to announce the opening of its new depot in United Arab Emirates. This strategic move strengthens the company’s presence in the Middle East and enhances its global network.

The new depot is in Dubai close to Dubai-World Central Airport, strategically placed due to its extensive global connections and immediate access to the networks of major Middle East carriers such as Emirates, operating a hub in Dubai, and Etihad, with a hub in nearby Abu Dhabi. This expansion aligns seamlessly with DoKaSch Temperature Solutions’ growth strategy, expanding global supply chain for pharmaceutical products.

“The establishment of our new station in Dubai is a significant milestone in our growth trajectory and highlights our commitment to enhancing our global network,” stated Andreas Seitz, Managing Director at DoKaSch Temperature Solutions. “Dubai and Abu Dhabi are established hubs, and our new station will play an important role in the global supply chain for pharmaceutical products.”

The pharmaceutical industry in the Middle East has experienced remarkable growth, with the UAE’s pharma market expected to reach a value of 4.7 billion US-Dollars by 2025, according to ADQ, an Abu Dhabi-based investment and holding company. With the opening of the Dubai depot, DoKaSch Temperature Solutions strengthens its foothold in the region and globally, ensuring expedited access to the Opticooler®, its high-quality and reliable temperature-controlled packaging solution.

Moreover, the Dubai depot holds strategic importance as a gateway to the Indian subcontinent, a key market for the production of pharmaceuticals, biosimilars, and biotech products. This expansion will increase the company’s ability to serve the growing demands of the pharmaceutical industry in the Middle East and neighbouring regions.

With the new Dubai depot, DoKaSch Temperature Solutions’ is expanding their free deliver global network offering the Opticooler®. This container maintains a consistent internal temperature, even amidst extreme external fluctuations ranging from -30° to +50°C. This feature is particularly crucial for the Dubai market and the surrounding region, given the consistently dry climate throughout the year, with average temperatures ranging between 27 and 45 degrees.

Synergy Expands Into UAE

WMS technology innovator Synergy Logistics is expanding its global operations having secured its first customer in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

Dubai based specialist, Automyze Fulfilment Centre, established in 2017, has onboarded technologically advanced, cloud-based SnapFulfil into its newly expanded 25,000 sq ft warehouse. The initial SaaS contract includes 45 licensed users.

Automyze specialises in start-ups and SME brands positioned for significant growth and currently shifts an average 18,000 units a month. However, with its ambitious target to double this over the next six months, it required a WMS with the flexibility and scalability to adapt and grow with its and its customers’ strategic expansions.

Automyze founder and CEO, Muhammad Manji, said: “We are an ambitious 3PL looking to give our clients scalable fulfilment solutions, whether that be small picks for e-commerce businesses, marketplace fulfilment or larger retail distribution. Consequently, we are excited to implement a Tier 1 WMS that will allow us to expand while maintaining our bespoke services.

“SnapFulfil is a well-established WMS that has been designed by people who understand warehousing logistics and in particular 3PLs. The software’s agility, configurability and capacity to grow with us makes Synergy a good cultural fit as a trusted technology partner.”

The proven flexibility of SnapFulfil’s solution means Automyze will now have accurate and consistent control of inventory and outbound processes, as well as returns, which will help it deliver a first-class service experience for its clients and their customers. The live data functionality will also help maximise performance and cost savings, plus have a tangible impact on strategic growth.

Synergy Logistics’ CEO, Tony Dobson, said: “We are delighted to be working with Automyze, who share our vision for rapid growth and we look forward to helping them meet their ambition in the 3PL sector. The UAE is a dynamic market and one in which we are confident Synergy’s fulfilment tech solutions will prosper.”

A key attraction of SnapFulfil for Automyze was its Application Programme Interface (API) friendly and robust pathway that meets the challenges of B2C and DTC omni-channel fulfilment. However, identifying the solution is just half of the challenge. Delivering it while continuing to satisfy existing customer requirements – without incurring custom coding costs and delays for new clients – is a different matter.

“The fact SnapFulfil is tailored to the specific challenges faced by 3PLs was what set it apart. The self-configurability of the software means that once our teams have been trained, we can manage everything in-house, from new customer onboarding to process changes and flexible billing management,” concluded Muhammad.
